Invites for this auction have been sent -- please follow the instructions provided to get in.

Since it's only a test, we'll just do starters only, as I don't think anyone feels like devoting five or six hours to a league that won't be played out.

If you need help with anything: [email protected].

Thanks! So like 10 rounds??? If so, sounds perfect!

Thanks!

Thanks! [/QUOTE]Yep. Ten should do the trick.

Greg, what dates and times are you expecting for the auction drafts as I am trying to plan my drafts this week to sign up for? Thanks!

Someone recommend a desired day of the week and time and we'll throw out the first $125 and $250 auction leagues. These may take a little longer than a regular serpentine draft, so I think we almost need to start these at 7 pm ET. Weekday or weekend works for me. Someone get the ball rolling or I'll pick 'em. Thanks.

I will be home exactly at 7 tonight, so if you don't see me on until the last minute, don't stress. I'll be on. I'm pretty sure a few people have my phone number if they get worried.

Tuesday nights work best for me, but not sure about everyone else's schedule? It all depends what times and dates you set up because sometimes I have to be at work early in the am...

Okay, what was learned in last night's test auction league? I wasn't available last night, so someone let me know if all is well and we should move forward with a full slate of auction satellite leagues? Geoff, how did the boys do last night?

Tom will put 1-2 satellite auction leagues together for mid-August and we'll go from there. If there's interest in this format we'll add more dates. You tell us how the site worked and we'll do the rest. Thanks all.

A LOT needs fixed before you move forward (in fact, it might be enough that you want to hold off for this season).

- No sound (going once, going twice, etc), and very hard to keep up with whose turn it is to nominate

- Chat is WAY too big, and doesn't scroll as chat is going on.

- 40 seconds to nominate a player.....a draft would take FOREVER (I imagine this could be easily fixed).

Just very vanilla.....

Sorry......

It has a lot of potential,

but a lot of work still needs to be done on it.... Everything Billy said above I agree with along with some other areas that need to be fixed or changed.
It needs to be tested again, before any type of money leagues uses it. Just to many faults at the moment. Once the bugs are fixed it will be really nice and I'm really excited about it.

sorry just being honest.

It is very vanilla Greg. As someone who participated in the draft yesterday, can you team up with ESPN's draft software instead? And I am being serious. I have a feeling the answer is no, but just curious.

The chat is way way too big and it seems like the commish in the chat room said nothing can be done about that. The sound needs a lot of work. Players were only being announced about 5% of the time. ESPN has a way better auction program.

I really want to do live online auctions but not with this software unless they can fix these bugs...
